If he bows to the left on something this basic, then there is no way he will be able to stand up to the full pressure from the establishment in 2024 when they need him to bow to them to fortify the election. Fuck him.
The small cultural battles like this are how we can tell if he’s actually strong enough to fight or if he is going to squish. The smears are only going to get worse, the pressure in 2024 is going to be 1000x what it is now. We are in a culture war and we need a fighter, not someone who claims to be on our side and then gives up when it matters.
Also, you’re retarded if you think this will do anything. Disavowing or deleting his account is an admission of guilt, not an apology. He will always be smeared with his prior association.
I never said that he needed to defend Andrew Torba. Torba can do that on his own. He is a grown man.
He should have handled this same way MTG handled it earlier this year when she spoke at Nick Fuentes’ conference. Nick Fuentes has a much more toxic reputation than Torba, and Torba also spoke at that conference! She defended her own speech there, and has done it repeatedly since - as recently as last week when she was on the Tim Pool show. The most she said was that she didn’t know Nick, which is true because Milo was the one who invited her to the conference. MTG is doing just fine in terms of fund raising.
The fact that he’s so far behind in fund raising at this stage is indicative of fundamental competence issues in his campaign, and not a great sign for him as governor.

Idiot.
He is not bowing to the left.
He needed to do this to get fundraising money to compete with Shapiro.
Mastriano was the leading voice actually calling out 2020 election fraud in PA.
He will end mass mail in balloting while Josh Shapiro has promised to expand it and implement same day voter registration.
We need Mastriano to win to win PA in 2024.
Why the fuck would you attack Mastriano for improving his victory chances?
You cannot win if you are seen as affiliated with Andrew Torba.
Why do so many of you not realize this?

He did this to get 8.5 million dollars in ad buys.
If he didn't do this, no money.
We need money to win elections.
You don't understand electoral politics if you think defending Torba was the right play here.
Mastriano has an excellent record on election integrity and to suggest otherwise is beyond rage-inducing.
